Interesting tonight if Gate 3 is a graveyard as it was last night (2 wins from 23 races), Zmarzlik, Lebedevs, Lindgren, & Kvech have all drawn it twice. Doyle, Bewley, Kurtz & Holder are among those who have drawn Red or Blue twice. Notable, however that last year Yellow and White both provided more wins than either Blue or Red. Hopefully they've done some work and last night's horrific gate bias towards the inside 2 gates isn't replicated.

BREAKING NEWS: Abi's working hard down in the pits 💪

To reduce financial losses

Fancy Kurtz for this one just gating better than BZ most of the time, think lebedevs and Freddie will be in the mix !

My memory isn't what it once was but I think that when the City Council granted planning permission for the track they decided what the lighting levels should be. Despite there being no residential property near the track. Those involved at the time will no doubt correct me if I am wrong.

As I’ve said on previous posts lights are simply not adequate for spectator entertainment those who disagree must be blind. Stand on 3rd bend and starts of races are so dark. No money in the sport etc but spectators need to see the sport they pay to see. Put 8 lights on the advertising boatd across start line 2 each gate front and back will make huge difference not difficult and get more lighting closer to the track….?

CO will say not enough support, and submit plans for houses instead, even if he miraculously delivers I won't be handing him any of my money after the way the Abbey has been left to rot and be surrounded by houses.

The Ippo muck up is different in that the new line up couldn't be accepted as it was over the limit and therefore in essence the previous was still in place More relevant is perhaps the RS hokey cokey with Jenkins/Foord Foord was declared but reverted on match day which seems to show it is possible up to when a meeting is ridden Next question is whether a facility is granted for Etheridge if he is still struggling by the time of his debut......

How many meetings and teams has he rode in that 4 weeks His mentor or manager is not doing him any favours He needs time great prospect but allready looks to be thinking he's a superstar Hes young and cocky Needs to develop slowly

Depends entirely on how they can cover Ben Cook I'd say. The guest system is an absolute lottery. Agree though, why would anyone give up on top four until it's mathematically impossible.

If this meeting had been last Saturday Masters would not have got a r/r ride but new averages mean he does tonight

Think their reserves will do more than ours

Race card for SGP Riga:

As we're finding out in the KO Cup!

If Masters shows his usual Shielfield form this could be close if their reserves do any thing.

Another tough looking fixture, we might struggle to get a win tonight, I hope I’m wrong

Good luck to the comets boys. Big performance needed from the 4 comets and trigger. Be hard for Morley but fair play to him. Suppose this short notice be hard to get a rider to travel all the way down to Plymouth.

As the captain of the Titanic said about the iceberg. [There was no drone at Cardiff in 2023 because it crashed in practice]

It's impossible for it to hit them

With a team built around having a strong reserve, what could possibly go wrong? 😉

Absolutely spot on with your assessment. Trouble is when you build a team do you build it thinking about riders getting injured? I don't think that you do. The Woffy injury really put us on the back foot before our season started, and mere fact that we look as though we will make the Play Offs is a bit of an achievement. As it stands I think we are looking at an Ipswich v Leicester Paly Off Final, which pains me to say for any neutrals would make a better final that had either us, Belle Vue or as a longshot Kings Lynn.

First time seeing Vilads Nagel live last night, very impressive, looked fast all night, great style to go with it too
